Praise for Trick or Treat...
"A rich confection that nicely balances humor, villainy, and a puzzle." -Publishers Weekly
"Working a case loosely based on a true story, Corinna and her friends are as delightful as ever, the killer a surprise, and the appended recipes a treat." -Kirkus Reviews

When a cut-price franchise bakery opens just down the street from Earthly Delights and crowds flock to purchase the bread, baker Corinna Chapman is understandably nervous. Meanwhile, her lover Daniel's old friend Georgiana Hope has set up residence in his house. She's tall, blond, and gorgeous, and it doesn't take Corinna long to suspect she's up to something. Daniel is making excuses and Corinna is worried about his absences. But even more worrisome is the strange outbreak of madness that seems to be centered on Lonsdale Street.
Can Corinna master a maze of health regulations, missing boyfriends, sinister strangers, fraudulent companies, and back-alley ambushes? Or this time, will Earthly Delights Bakery be well and truly done?

Born in Footscray, Australia, a suburb of Melbourne, Kerry Greenwood has written more than 20 novels, a number of plays, and is the creator of the Phryne Fisher series. In 2003 she won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Crime Writers' Association of Australia. Trick or Treat is fourth in her newest series featuring irrepressible baker-cum-sleuth Corinna Chapman.show more
